A 'butler' in your mobile phone: University of Southampton scientists create a computer agent that aims to make life less complicated
A new computer agent that will work through users' mobile phones and organise their business and social schedules, has been developed by scientists at the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. The agent is an example of how the next generation of... view more (2003-06-13)

Students who believe intelligence can be developed perform better
Research on how junior high school students' beliefs about intelligence affect their math grades found that those who believed that intelligence can be developed performed better than those who believed intelligence is fixed.   view more (2007-02-07)

PRODUCTS THAT THINK FOR THEMSELVES
Mechatronics is the latest engineering discipline that combines mechanical, electrical and computing systems to produce intelligent products. These devices have the capacity to sense the environment and make reasoned judgements about outputs from the system. In addition, a mechatronic device will... view more (1999-02-03)

Making Wind Power More Efficient
A University of Ulster researcher has come up with a new method, using Artificial Intelligence techniques, to forecast wind energy more accurately than ever before. Predicting how fast the wind will blow has always been a major problem for wind farm operators. It is essential that they have some... view more (2003-06-10)

VCU Study Shows Big-Brained People Are Smarter
People with bigger brains are smarter than their smaller-brained counterparts, according to a study conducted by a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher published in the journal "Intelligence."   view more (2005-06-20)

Brain network related to intelligence identified
A primary mystery puzzling neuroscientists - where in the brain lies intelligence? - just may have a unified answer.   view more (2007-09-12)

EU-funded project to grow first artificial society
A EUR1.55 million project funded by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme to grow the first society based on artificial, computer-based beings, much like characters in popular computer games such as SIMS, was officially launched on Wednesday during the AISB2005 convention at the University... view more (2005-04-14)

Twins, genetics and intelligence
It doesn't make psychological sense to pin human intelligence down into a single factor, so called 'general intelligence' which is supposedly highly heritable. This finding is presented today, Friday 7 September, by Dr Sarah Norgate, Centre for Childhood, Development and Learning at The Open... view more (2001-08-31)

Jabberwock Scoops Artificial Intelligence Prize
On his 47th birthday, Juergen Pirner, head of Abenteuer Medien Verlag, a Hamburg-based magazine publishing house, won this year's Loebner Prize Contest, hosted by the Digital World Research Centre at the University of Surrey on 18 October 2003. 'Jabberwock', in Juergen's view is the proof that any... view more (2003-10-21)

The keys to keeping and developing good staff
Delegation, open responsive management and managers with greater assertiveness, emotional intelligence and self-confidence are the keys for businesses wanting to keep and develop good staff. These are the findings of research by Robert Myatt of Kaisen Consulting to be reported at the British... view more (2005-01-07)

Bigger brain size matters for intellectual ability
Brain size matters for intellectual ability and bigger is better, McMaster University researchers have found.   view more (2005-12-23)

Artificial night lighting jeopardises the survival of sea life
Artificial night lighting can jeopardise the survival of sea turtles by obliterating environmental cues. Writing in the August issue of Biologist, Mike Salmon, of Florida Atlantic University, USA, explains how artificial coastal lighting disturbs female sea turtles' navigation to nest beaches and... view more (2003-08-01)

Study supports the use of mechanical assistance for acute or chronic heart failure in high-risk patients
The success of long-term implantable ventricular assist devices (LVAD) or artificial hearts has led to their increased use in patients previously thought to be unsuitable for mechanical support. This study documents the shift in the demographic profile of patients in need of artificial hearts to a... view more (2004-11-10)

Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect child's intelligence
Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect a child's intellectual development, finds research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The intellectual and motor skills of 345 randomly selected children were assessed at the ages of 13 months and 5 years. The length of time they were breastfed... view more (2001-08-20)

Emotional Intelligence and the use of tobacco and cannabis
The term Emotional Intelligence could be defined as the capacity to perceive, comprehend and regulate one's own emotions and those of others so as to be able to distinguish between emotions and use this information as a guide for one's thoughts and actions.   view more (2007-11-02)

Ground-breaking research to develop 'conscious' robot
Researchers at the Universities of Essex and Bristol will soon be launching a ground-breaking project to develop a 'conscious' robot. The aim of the project, which involves computer scientists and neuropsychologists, is to advance the technology of intelligent machines, while also extending the... view more (2003-08-22)

Scientists have turned to the brightest brains in Britain in a bid to understand the link between intelligence and dementia.   view more (2005-02-15)

Shark skin saves naval industry money
Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles on ship hulls is a major cause of increased energy costs in the naval industry. Shark skin offers a structural design that prevents this so called 'bio-fouling'.   view more (2005-07-18)

"Animals" grown from an artificial embryo
VIRTUAL creatures, with muscles, senses and primitive nervous systems, have been "grown" from artificial embryos in a computer simulation. The multi-celled organisms could be the first step towards using artificial evolution to create intelligent life from scratch. Each creature begins life as a... view more (2002-08-21)

Personality predictors of intelligence change from younger to older adulthood
An ability to be open to new situations may predict intelligence earlier in life, says a new study, but disagreeableness may predict intelligence later in life.   view more (2006-08-11)
